evilweasel posted:the citation very clearly supports the quote. did you post it without reading the source? bottom of the left column is where the relevant part starts. it states the UN attempted to set up all-korean elections but were blocked from doing so by the soviet union. Goddamnit I thought it was the regular lie about who started it and who won what. Wait, no, this is the one that leaves out the South rapidly sliding into dictatorship from go and that always being the plan. Would have been better to show the decade-long edit war over continued biological warfare. EDIT: May is before August, it was you.

I am so used to being the rear end in a top hat that I failed to understand that the person correcting me misread it. The US held its regional elections first. The lies start in the top left corner. Big Hubris fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Thanks Ants posted:All efforts to reduce junk messages and scams happening on your platform are commendable, but people fall for iTunes gift card scams all day long because it arrived in an email, where if you posted them a letter or turned up at their door and tried the same thing they'd work out that it was obviously a con. You can only get to a certain level with technology, do people just assume that if it got as far as being displayed on their screen that it's passed through filters and is kosher? I disagree with your premise. You just see these things happening via email and SMS more because it's cheaper and faster or the scammers.

Scuttlebutt is that FTX, run by Sam Bankman-Fried, took customer deposits and then lent $10 billion worth to Alameda Research, a trading fund run by *checks notes* Sam Bankman-Fried. Apparently the regressive old fogeys at the SEC frown on this sort of thing.

FTX extended loans to Alameda using money that customers had deposited on the exchange for trading purposes, a decision that Mr. Bankman-Fried described as a poor judgment call, one of the people said. The whole thing is deeply incredible, and it sounds like a whole lot of terrible people are going to eat poo poo.

I'm not actually able to parse the rest of your post, but Jimbo is only worth $15 mil. That's a chunk of money, but he's hardly a billionaire. I'm also curious as to why you think he receives any money from Wikipedia at all? He's on the board of trustees, but I didn't see any record of board members being compensated.

fool of sound posted:A major crypto exchange has collapsed and when another exchange offered to buy them, whatever the prospective buyers saw during a brief financial review was so insanely dangerous and toxic that they changed their mind immediately. - We are so nice that we're trying to look out for all FTX's customers. Please consider us for all your future unregulated crypto banking needs. - But shock and horror, we found out that FTX was doing shady things when we did our due diligence! We are appalled! Please assume that this means that we would never do such skullduggery and that our house is in order (no, nobody is allowed to audit us). Summarized events: - Sam Bankman-Fried founds and controls FTX, a crypto bank. - FTX prints a bunch of FunBucks (a crypto token). They have a large pile of them. - FTX accepts currency deposits. Now they have a large pile of currency and a bunch of debts to depositors - Sam Bankman-Fried founds and controls Alameda, a standardish finance bro hedge fund type company doing things like speculating on stocks, commodity futures, etc.... As part of his investment, he gives them a bunch of FunBucks - Alameda goes to FTX and says "We would like a $10 billion loan. We have a big pile of obviously very valuable FunBucks as collateral" - In theory, Alameda's generates lots of profit with the loaned money and can return currency on demand to cover anyone withdrawing money from FTX - In reality, they don't. - A copy of their internal balance sheet leaks on the internet that shows the currency has mostly vanished (they've still got lots of FunBucks though!) - Binance makes a public statement that because of that sketchyness, they've decided to get rid of all of their FunBucks because they don't have faith in them anymore (Binance and FTX are historical competitors and enemies) - All of FTX's other depositors also flee while they can. FTX suspends withdrawals - 24 hours after FX shuts down, Binance says they've reached a non-binding agreement to buy FTX - A day later, they say "actually, nope"

The market for all crypto went to poo poo after Binance pulled out. It dragged Binance down too. I seriously doubt they went in with no intention to follow through. It’s very obvious how due diligence could have tanked this deal.
